I think the current playercount organization is as good as it gets. No solution is perfect for a co-op game with heavy RNG. In this format, all players are represented. If Speedrun.com is updated with tools that let us maintain that value of representing as much of the playerbase as possible, while being more readable and demanding less of the user to sort runs to accordingly, we will implement it.
Yes! the news is, OozmaERBS wins!
jk It got lost in the shuffle during the board revamp, but you remembered it! we're so back
do we have a predictable time that the Stratagem Hero category will be out? I've been trying to find somewhere to post & Legitimize my Record?
The new eliminate factory strider mission just got added to the game at 4-challenging. I have a run i could upload once you add the category
Excuse me, I was trying to submit a 100% deathless multiplayer run from the "Destroy Command Bunkers" level on Helldive difficulty, yet I'm afraid this level is currently missing in neither the levels subcategory under the scope tab in the submit form, nor the difficulty specific subcategories.
Had an idea for a category I figured I'd pitch, so will just leave this here in case it grabs anyone's interest.
Marathon Campaign
- Planetary Campaign: Select 1 planet, all missions must take place on that planet and only that planet.
- Operational Ladder: Start on any Trivial Operation available. When that's complete, move to an Easy Operation, then a Medium Operation, and so on until you complete the final mission of a Helldive Operation. You may not join missions currently underway (joining ongoing games on the map), you must always select a new mission.
- Failure: You must succeed at all missions, failing even one invalidates the run.
- Sub Category: May use the Any%, Extract%, and 100% rules, but must be chosen before the first game begins and kept with until the end of the Marathon Campaign. Failing the requirements of the chosen category on any mission invalidates the run.
- Crash Stipulation: Since long term playing in HD2 is often fraught with glitches, any player that crashes may rejoin the game as soon as the game permits them to. Players must always be the same players, and players that crash may not be substituted with other/new players joining the lobby, it must be the same players from start to finish.
- Timing: Timing begins with landing on the First Mission and ends with extracting from the Final Mission. This will most likely require an external timing tool, either through a retimer, livesplit, or similar tool. Timing is continuous, including time spent onboard the ship.
Once again after a poll and discussion on the community discord - which everyone is invited and encouraged to join! - we have updated the difficulty variable to reflect what missions are available on which difficulties. To explain what this means, some mission types are not
